Manchester United Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 12/13

Nani Rooney evra absolute rubbish. Nani and Rooney didn't even look interested . De gea and kagawa very good. Good return by vidic. Let nobody criticise carrick. He was playing out if position and did as well as he could. Any centre half struggles with fellaini. If only nani and Rooney had the attitude of carrick and tony v tonight.

Bad result but that's an awful away fixture and nobody will get it easy there. We ll still be challenging but nani and Rooney need such a serious root up the ****in hole

Rooney was just awful tonight. Worst player in a utd shirt IMO
Kagawa was very good, he's gonna be a great signing for us is season.
Valencia was quite poor
Nani was terrible, very frustrating to watch.
RVP didn't really get to do much aside from a nice link up with Kagawa

Everton were very good defensively. Fellaini was about as good as it gets IMO. H was so dominating. All 3 of our cms couldn't handle him together. He was always gonna dominate the airial battles against 3 players all of whom are 5' 9" or under.

Tonight we were on the receiving end of just how effective a good steely box to box midfielder can be .

Fellaini was so impressive tonight. That's twice he has almost single handedly demolished us.

Found out in midfield again, surprise surprise.

I honestly think we're more dangerous from a goal kick than a corner kick. Absolute rubbish.

I said it months ago! He's class.

Aye, same. I've been wanting him for ages. He's too good, but after that performance, his price probably went up about 5m

Van Persie out!!

:pac:

Ah well lads, we normally start very slow so no surprises here.

We don't normally lose our first game and get out played by Everton....

Thoughts after that:

1. Kagawa was our best player, incredibly composed, looks to have no problems adjusting to the PL. Has to start every game imo.

2. De Gea was solid as usual. Kept us in it for the first half, a different goalie from this time last year.

3. Rooney was brutal, and has been all pre-season. Looked slow and un-fit. Needs to buck up his game, tbh I wouldn't be against dropping him, might give him a kick up the @rse.

4. Today really highlighted the need for a CM. Cleverly and Scholes were far too open defencively, better teams than Everton will punish this. I stand by my opinion from the start of the summer that we should throw serious money at Fellani.

5. Nani, oh dear. I get the feeling this game was his chance to cement his place in the team, and boy did he let that chance slip. Evra was also awful, looked like he couldn't give a sh!te.

6. Vidic looked like he hadn't missed a game, very encouraging.


Overall some encouraging signs, and no need for doom and gloom yet. Bear in mind we were missing four centre halves. Everton away is a very tough place to go.

Rooney looks completely unfit.

Credit to Everton, they were immense.

Was that what it was?

Because it was an absolute joke the way he performed. Competition for places is now tougher than ever and Rooney and Nani took a big horrible ****e on their chances tonight. Rooney was a clumsy oaf and looked totally out of ideas. Nani was going to have "one of those nights" when he flipped his **** over a goal-kick in the 2nd min. It WAS a corner, now **** up and get back in position.

Shinji Kagawa looked like he dropped down to play with the reserves at times, he was absolutely brilliant. A cut above all other outfield players. Rooney would want to get his ****ing act together or there will be calls for Kagawa behind Van Persie as our attacking 2.

I knew this would be tough. But AGAIN Fellaini has decided to rape us in a way I have only seen Torres, Kaka and Ronaldo do before. We just can't deal with him, and it's OUR problem. Why isn't Fellaini up for the Ballon d'Or with Messi and Ronaldo? Because Stoke deal with him, Liverpool deal with him, Newcastle deal with him, half the ****ing teams in the league can nullify him, yet he takes the field against United and all crumbles before him. Myself and Homerjay have been saying it would be important to sign Fellaini, ****ing hell, give them £30m just so we never have to play the **** again.

We need to bounce back against Fulham, it's a huge game now. If Rooney pulls his head out of his arse and we can give the ball to Shinji as much as possible, we'll be fine. A centre back to play with Vidic would be nice too.

Summary:
Kagawa, De Gea: Excellent.
Clev, Carrick and Valencia (considering position), Scholes: Ok.
Evra, Vidic, Welbeck: Poor.
Nani, Rooney: Should be made walk back to Manchester.
